Beyond the velvet curtain - The mafia Lord rule Chapter 40: The beginning
Aurora’s POVI did not expect Logan to agree to Marissa.Not after everything that had happened between them, not after the way his expression tightened every time her name came up, not after the cold silence he usually carried whenever anything about her campaign was mentioned in passing. So when I heard him speaking in his office that morning, I stopped without even realizing I had slowed down, my hand still hovering near the door as though I was debating whether I had the right to listen at all.His voice was calm, controlled, the kind of calm that usually meant he had already made a decision and was only allowing the rest of the world to catch up to him.“I’ll support the structure of her campaign,” Logan said, and there was a brief pause before his assistant responded.“Sir, full involvement or advisory?”“Neither,” he answered immediately, as though the idea itself was already inconvenient. “Just enough to stabilize what she’s trying to build.”I frowned slightly outside the doo
Beyond the velvet curtain - The mafia Lord rule Chapter 39: Scared me more
Logan’s POVI had always believed I was a person who could control every situation.That was how I survived.That was how I became who I was.I learned early that emotions made people careless, and careless people made mistakes. The moment someone allowed their feelings to guide their actions, they became predictable, and I had built my entire life around never being predictable.But standing there, holding Diva’s wrist before she could touch Aurora, I realized something that bothered me.I hadn’t thought.I hadn’t calculated.I hadn’t even considered the consequences.My body had moved before my mind caught up.And that was something I hated.Because it meant Aurora had become someone who could make me react without permission.Diva stared at me with wide eyes, clearly shocked that I was standing between her and Aurora.“Logan…”Her voice carried disbelief.Maybe because she expected me to defend her.Maybe because she still believed she knew me.But the truth was, she didn’t.Not an
Beyond the velvet curtain - The mafia Lord rule Chapter 38: He heard everything
Aurora’s POVI should have known the moment Diva asked to speak with me privately that whatever she wanted to say wasn’t going to be something harmless.People like her didn’t look for privacy because they wanted honesty. They wanted privacy because they believed it gave them permission to say things they would never dare say in front of Logan. They wanted a place where they could remove the mask they wore so carefully and show the person they truly were without worrying about consequences.And maybe that was why I wasn’t surprised when I walked into the sitting room and saw her waiting.She was sitting comfortably on the sofa, one leg crossed over the other, looking completely relaxed as if she had invited me there for a friendly conversation instead of the obvious tension between us.The moment her eyes landed on me, a small smile appeared on her face.A fake one.The same smile she always wore whenever Logan was around.Except this time, he wasn’t.“Close the door,” she said.I loo
Beyond the velvet curtain - The mafia Lord rule Chapter 37: Me
Aurora’s POVThe silence after our argument wasn’t uncomfortable.That was the strange part.A few months ago, silence with Logan had always felt like a warning. It felt like the moment before he said something that would remind me exactly who he was and exactly how powerless I was against him.But now it was different.Now, sitting across from him in the hotel room, I wasn’t wondering when he would lose his patience.I was wondering what he was thinking.And that alone annoyed me.Because when did I start caring about what was going on inside Logan’s head?I looked away from him and focused on the clothes his assistant had brought. The entire situation was ridiculous. We had left a political dinner, ended up in a hotel room, argued about a dress, and somehow the argument had turned into a conversation about how I treated everyone else differently from how I treated him.And the worst part was that he wasn’t wrong.I could fight Logan.I could challenge him.I could tell him exactly w
Beyond the velvet curtain - The mafia Lord rule Chapter 36: Because this was Logan
Aurora's POV I still couldn’t believe what had happened.Even after we left the dinner, even after Logan carried me out of the room like I weighed nothing, even after the car ride where he spent the entire time pretending that he hadn’t caused a scene in front of everyone, I was still trying to understand what exactly had happened.Because this was Logan.The same Logan who always acted like emotions were unnecessary.The same Logan who could sit in a room full of people and make everyone nervous without even trying.Yet tonight, he had abandoned a political dinner because he didn’t like the way people were looking at me.And the funniest part was that he still refused to admit it.When we arrived at the hotel, I followed him inside while trying not to smile because I knew if I did, he would immediately notice.And the last thing I needed was Logan realizing how entertaining I found his reaction.The room was already prepared by the time we entered, and I immediately noticed the bag
Beyond the velvet curtain - The mafia Lord rule Chapter 35: Different
Logan’s POV I never expected myself to agree to help Marissa. For years, I had made sure every interaction between us remained controlled and limited. I knew how dangerous she was, not because of what she could physically do, but because of how easily she could manipulate people into believing the version of herself she created. She had spent years building an image that made everyone see her as elegant, harmless, and trustworthy, while I knew there was something far darker hidden beneath it. But this time was different. The situation was no longer only about her. It involved things that could affect the company, my family name, and the people connected to me. I knew exactly what I was doing when I agreed. I wasn’t forgiving her. I wasn’t forgetting. I was simply stepping closer to the enemy because sometimes the only way to understand someone’s weakness was to stand close enough to see where they protected themselves. Aurora knew enough to understand that. She ha
Beyond the velvet curtain - The mafia Lord rule Chapter six: The possibilities to ruin her
Logan's POV As I stood outside the door, I couldn't shake off the feeling of intense heat coursing through my veins. I’d only intended to tease her, to test her limits and push her boundaries. But the moment I touched her, something inside me snapped. I lost control, my desire for her consuming me
Beyond the velvet curtain - The mafia Lord rule Chapter five: You've got fire in your vein
Aurora's POV The figure leaned in closer, its grip closing around my neck like a vice. I was pinned to the bed, unable to move or escape. As I struggled to breathe, I recognized the familiar scent of Lord Logan's cologne wafting through the air. "What’re you doing here?" Lord Logan's low, husky
Beyond the velvet curtain - The mafia Lord rule Chapter four: It's an auspicious day
Aurora's POV I knew the significance of this day. It was an auspicious day, when maidens like me, purchased and brought to their masters' estates, would begin serving them in every way. They would become their mistresses, and perhaps, if they pleased their masters, they might even become their wiv
Beyond the velvet curtain - The mafia Lord rule Chapter three: A pawn in an unknown game
Aurora's POV Logan's gaze was intense, piercing, and I felt like I was drowning in its depths. I felt irritated at the way he was staring, it made me want to dig my hands into his eyes then run off. I know I can't stay, I had to leave but how? He's always keeping his eyes on me leaving me with no
